Maria Elena Bettini
Roman founder of the Daughters of Divine Providence
Who they were
She began a congregation of teaching sisters in Rome in 1832, which became the Daughters of Divine Providence, to educate poor girls.
The miracles
No miracle has been approved. The decree on heroic virtues has been promulgated; a miracle would come next.
Why that counted as sanctity
Her cause was opened in Rome in 1936 and the decree on her heroic virtues was promulgated on 15 December 1994.
The cause
The cause continues. No postulation address is published here yet. Favours received through this person’s intercession, and offers of help, are best sent to the religious order or congregation they belonged to, or to the diocese where the cause was opened; either will pass them to the postulation.
